Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1190 Grand Tutor Wan Quan

Zhao Chuanzhi bowed even lower.

"Well, Your Highness, due to the rampant pirates in the southern region, many ships have entered the inland waterways. The imperial court has issued an edict requiring strict inspection of all passing ships to prevent pirates from infiltrating."

This reason was barely acceptable. Since so many soldiers had already been injured, Lin Feng couldn't pursue the matter any further.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning. You can go back to the city."

"Oh, Your Highness, you've been gone for quite some time. Please allow me to show you the hospitality of a local when you return to the city."

Zhao Chuanzhi said urgently.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "No need. The war is tense right now, we should focus on the important matters."

"this..."

"Go back and tell Wei Nanji that all Zhenxi Army ships will be exempt from inspection from now on. Don't let me know there will be a next time."

"Yes, Your Highness. I will certainly keep a close watch on them. If they commit the offense again, I will punish them severely."

Lin Feng nodded and waved in acknowledgment.

After bowing respectfully, Zhao Chuanzhi stepped back to the steps of the ship before turning around and disembarking.

Lin Feng felt that even if their identities were revealed now, Zhenxi No. 2 would definitely be faster than them and would still be able to get ahead of the news.

Zhao Chuan disembarked from the warship, bowed to Lin Feng on the ship's upper deck once more on the riverbank, and then turned and mounted his horse.

"Everyone, return to the city immediately."

He shouted a command and spurred his horse into the city.

Wei Nanji ordered his men to restrain the soldiers and march back to the city in formation.

He then spurred his horse to catch up with Zhao Chuanzhi and approached him to ask.

"Your Excellency, is our Grand Regent Prince aboard?"

Zhao Chuanzhi nodded: "It was indeed the Prince himself. You almost got into big trouble."

Wei Nanji disagreed: "My lord, our Jingnan Prefecture has a garrison of over six thousand men, why be so humble?"

Have you ever heard the legend of Lin Feng?

"The adults all say it's just a legend; how much of it is true?"

Zhao Chuanzhi glanced at him, his expression showing displeasure.

"Before we go into details, do you know who broke through the siege of 30,000 pirates in Fuling City this time?"

"Sir, do you mean...?"

"Who in the world could win such a battle with fewer troops against a larger force?"

Although Wei Nanji stopped arguing after hearing this, his face was full of disdain.

As a military general, how could I possibly be convinced by someone else's ability to lead an army?

Zhao Chuanzhi knew he was dissatisfied, so he didn't say much, but solemnly warned him.

"From now on, all ships of the Zhenxi Army will be exempt from inspection. They can't cause me any more trouble."

"My lord, it's an imperial decree..."

“I know, why do you need to remind me? That was before Lin Feng came back. Now that he’s back, let’s take things into consideration.”

As the two were talking, their warhorses had already entered the city of Jingnan Prefecture.

Wei Nanji accompanied Zhao Chuanzhi all the way back to the Zhao residence. After bidding farewell at the gate, they immediately turned their horses around and headed towards the east gate of the city.

More than 30 li to the east of Jingnan Prefecture lies Yufu Mountain.

Wei Nanji led two hundred guards and drove south from the foot of Yufu Mountain, covering nearly fifty miles, until they arrived at the gate of a manor hidden in the woods on the south side of Yufu Mountain.

The estate is enclosed by tall logs, similar to an army camp in the field, but it looks more sturdy and taller.

There were no guards in front of the huge gate, only torches that emitted a dim yellow glow.

Wei Nanji sent his men to knock on the door.

A moment later, a man dressed as a family member opened a small door and poked half his body out.

"Who are you so late?"

Wei Nanji cupped his hands in greeting: "Please inform them that Wei Nanji from Jingnan City requests an audience."

When the family saw hundreds of warhorses standing in front of their door, they knew that this person was of high status and quickly shrank back.

Wei Nanji waited for half an hour before seeing the manor gate slowly opened.

"walk into."

A group of two hundred cavalrymen followed Wei Nanji as he rode through the gate.

The front yard of the manor was very spacious, and the two hundred warhorses did not feel crowded when they entered.

However, when they tried to enter the second courtyard, they were stopped by the servants and could only let Wei Nanji enter with two guards.

The warhorse was also left in the front yard.

The three followed the servant who was leading the way, walking further and further in, crossing countless courtyards, until they finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous little house.

Only Wei Nanji can enter this time, and he must leave his weapons outside the courtyard.

Wei Nanji didn't take it seriously. He unfastened his waist knife, had two guards wait at the courtyard gate, and then followed the servants inside.

After turning two corners in the small house, two guards with swords stood in front of a carved door.

Wei Nanji could tell at a glance that the two guards were extraordinary; they were composed and steady, with sharp eyes.

He stood in front of the door and waited for nearly fifteen minutes before someone opened the door and gestured for him to enter.

Upon entering, Wei Nanji found a large desk in front of him, behind which sat an elderly man with white hair, writing something.

He took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and leaned down to speak.

"This humble general, Wei Nanji, pays his respects to the Grand Tutor."

The old man stopped writing and glanced up at him as he listened to him speak.

"Get up and talk."

Wei Nanji stood up and stood respectfully beside the desk, waiting for the Grand Tutor to speak.

This old man was none other than Wan Quan, the Grand Tutor of the Great Dynasty. Ever since Lin Feng entered the capital, he had taken his family and moved here to live in seclusion.

Along with Emperor Zhao Zhen's concubine and his own daughter, they also came here to stay.

Wei Nanji waited for a long time before he heard Wan Quan cough twice.

"Ahem, what brings you here?"

"Grand Tutor, Lin Feng has reappeared."

Wan Quan's hand trembled slightly, and a drop of ink fell onto the Xuan paper, slowly spreading.

"you sure?"

"Grand Tutor, a conflict broke out tonight with Lin Feng's Zhenxi warship, and it was only after Prefect Zhao intervened that the matter was resolved."

Wan Quan put down his brush and looked up at Wei Nanji.

"This child is still alive! This is a great misfortune for the clan, and the court is in grave danger."

Wei Nanji was somewhat nervous: "Grand Tutor, I failed to stop him. I'm afraid the Zhenxi warships will leave the Jingnan Prefecture dock early tomorrow morning."

Wan Quan asked with a grim face, "What is Zhao Chuanzhi's attitude?"

"Prefect Zhao warned his subordinates not to provoke Lin Feng again."

"Inform the Emperor as soon as possible and make preparations early."

Wei Nanji said helplessly, "Grand Tutor, even a fast horse can't outrun his warships."

Wan Quan stroked his beard and pondered for a moment.

“Kyoto Prefecture is not far from the capital of Taisho. Traveling by land is much faster than by water. Send someone to inform the Taisho court and ask them to find a way to intercept Lin Feng.”

Wei Nanji was stunned.

"This... Grand Tutor, how could the Taisho court listen to us?"

"It's not about making them listen to us. You just need to pass on the message, and they naturally won't let Lin Feng get away with it so easily."

Wei Nanji realized what was happening and immediately cupped his hands in greeting.

"Yes, Grand Tutor. I will immediately send someone to spread the news."

Wan Quan waved his hand: "Go quickly, go quickly."

News of Lin Feng's appearance in Fu Ning Prefecture in the southern part of Da Zong has already spread to several reclusive sects.

Elder Yan Su of the Zhengyi Sect of Tianshan was the first cultivator to participate in this matter. He led a group of disciples from several sects to Yuquan Temple, demanding that the temple clean up the sects and punish the offending disciples according to the sect rules.

Because Lin Feng, as a disciple of Yuquan Temple, participated in worldly disputes and violated the rules of the secluded sect, he must be severely punished.
